SCSI drive problem
« on: November 29, 2007, 03:09:38 AM »
I have a GVP A1291 installed, and can not get a cd to mount properly.  I have installed the drivers, altered CD0: but it will not automount.  If I open a cli and change to CD0:, then it mounts the drive, but then I get Unexpected Status: $40/$00.

Any ideas what I should check?

 Probably a termination problem.

 check the chain first.
Goodbye people.

Add Activate=1 to the CD0 DosDriver.

The chain looks good.  The A1291 has active termination, it then goes to a external CDROM that has a terminator on the second port.

 As I said: bad termination!

 Use active or passive terms in both ends! Never mix terms.
